KICKER is shipping a new line of amplifiers, the LX Series, it calls a “marriage of SQL design and high power output.”
The LX series includes seven models that were designed from the ground up in the US. They include four monoblock amplifiers ranging from 850 watts to 3000 watts, a 4-channel full-range stereo amplifier, a 5-channel amplifier and 7-channel amplifier each with its own subwoofer section.
All come with KICKER’s FIT+ technology, accepting low- and high-level signals up to 40V, with full differential inputs created to eliminate noise for clear sound. All subwoofer channels are 1-Ohm stable and ship with a feature-heavy remote bass control (LXRC).
All multi-channel amplifiers are bridgeable and come with a hard-wired LX Control Center (LXCC). Users can dial in or view DSP-controlled options like gain trim, LED output clip indication, selectable crossover type, slopes, and variable frequency ranges, and KickEQ+™ parametric bass boost on the full-range amps with sub sections. It also includes left-channel time delay on stereo channels, and phase control on sub channels.
The six amps with mono channels come with the LXRC, providing “dynamic fingertip dash direction of bass level.” The remote has SHOCwave2.0™ (Sub-Harmonic Octave Creation), and KICKER’s 2nd-gen digital bass restoration algorithm that recovers lost, low-bass frequencies. It also displays battery voltage in a fuel-gauge-style readout, control of its RGB LED brightness, and output clipping indication.
All amplifiers have a choice of turn-on modes and protections for thermal, circuit, and voltage stability. Retail prices range from $449.99-$899.99.
